I'm actually old enough to remember the confirmation hearings, Anita Hill, the pubic hair on the Coke can, all of it. The way that poor woman was mocked and vilified has always stuck with me. Maybe this is my Roman Empire? I’m both old enough to remember but also was young enough to not quite understand it. Like I remember thinking “if people are going around putting pubic hairs on coke cans in the workplace, I do not want an office job when I grow up” I just hollered

It was under construction when we went in February so we didn’t go in but during the canal tour they said the dragon tail spire was considered good luck because it was a wooden building that had never burned even when the stone palace next to it had burned twice. It was shocking to see it this morning.

we saw footage in the news of ordinary people running in to help save art. It was distressing and moving.

I thought this was really informative, although I knew about parts of this, I didn't know all. (the rest under the spoiler tag)

I mean, I feel like those of us paying any attention at all knew this, but it still is pretty damning to see it all laid out.

I wish Rep. Moskowitz hadn't retaliated. It makes him look so damn petty. These people are supposed to be leading.

It's so awful. I read about the poor mother whose baby in a stroller was stabbed first, she basically handed off her baby to strangers in hopes of her being saved (the mother did not make it). 💔

Wait. Remind me again, what year are we living in? Ffs. Recent changes in so many states has cemented my resolve to never move out of Minnesota. I’ve survived the cold and snow this long, I’ll keep it if it means our government doesn’t try to kill us in myriad of ways. JFC.
